"Émile, or On Education" (French: Émile, ou De l’éducation) is a treatise on the nature of education and on the nature of man written by the Genevan philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. It was first published in 1762 and is considered one of the most important works on education and philosophy. The treatise is a comprehensive guide to the education of a young boy named Émile, and it outlines Rousseau's philosophy on how to raise and educate a child to become a good and virtuous citizen.

In 1851-1852, the French artist Pierre Gustave Eugène Staal, commonly known as Gustave Staal, created a series of illustrations for a new edition of Rousseau's "Émile." Staal was a prominent illustrator and engraver of the 19th century, known for his detailed and expressive artwork. His illustrations for "Émile" are notable for their ability to capture the essence of Rousseau's philosophical ideas and the emotional depth of the narrative.

Staal's illustrations for "Émile" are characterized by their intricate line work and attention to detail. They often depict key scenes from the book, bringing to life the interactions between Émile and his tutor, as well as the various stages of Émile's education. Staal's artwork not only enhances the reader's understanding of Rousseau's text but also provides a visual representation of the Enlightenment ideals that underpin the treatise.

The 1851-1852 edition of "Émile" with Staal's illustrations was well-received and contributed to the continued popularity and influence of Rousseau's work. Staal's illustrations remain an important part of the visual and cultural history of "Émile," offering insight into 19th-century interpretations of Rousseau's educational philosophy.
